About the most ridiculous explaI Ation OF
.be cause of a financial collapse reg emily pub
I;shod was that of Mr.. Marsh' ~ the firm Of
n s,sns Marsh 4 Co., barb Eire manufac-
. ons Of Chicago. The fail 6re was caused,
su nrs Mr. Marsh, by the ints state commerce
s Iay By reason of the 2 Gange in rates under
It competitors, shipping by water, were en-
abled to undersell khem. The firm, it is
commended, was making money until the new
law went into effect. The liabilities of the
firm are state5iat s44s,O and the assets at
s256. 900. 1.-THE firm were solvent when the
law went into effect, and making money, it is
simply ridiculous to say that the operations of
the Law caused loss of nearly $500, 900 in
one Month. If they could compete with other
manufacturers before the law took effect, their
l5sses would only equal the difference in
former and present freight rates. 1t is quite
safe to say that the FIRMS freight bill for
wear did not amount to the half of 100000.
Following this failure was that of another
barb wire company ochhaDel q Oo.; aiso Vi
Chicago. Their liabilities are about Sl2S,eOO
in excess of assets. The two firms had en-
dorsed for each other, and had overreached
themselves. Their standing could not have
been good on the LIST of April, when the inter-
state law went into operation, and it is ride
ulous to assign any such cause for their failure.
1t is evidently the intention of large manufac-
turers in large cities, that have had advantages
in the way of freight over manufacturers in
smaller places, to make the law odious, and
railroad companies are bending their efforts
in the same direction. The large manufac-
turers don't want smaller ones put upon the
same footing with them, and railroads have
favorite towns and cities, where the officers
have moneyed interests, that they have been
building up by freight determinations, and
the law interferes with their schemes. The
law is good one, and will stand, regardless
of the sins charged up against it. 1t may de-
ceive some people to charge business failures
to the operation of it, but the great mass of
people understand that it is only scheme to
make the law odious and cause its repeal.

Sudden Cry of Fire Raises Wild
CommOtIOn at the Matin zee.

A gentleman visited The SUNDAY MORN
ING NEWS office last evening and gave
information that, while the matinee
performance of .sAlone in London" was
being performed yesterday at the Academy
Of Music, the audience became panic strick-
en- by the cry of 'sdre. fire, uttered by a
boy in the gallery. The informant also
stated that during the excitement young
girl in the balcony tainted and that lady
attempted to jump from one of the boxes Of
the theatre. Manager Hyams, when call
ed upon last evening, stated that little
excitement was caused ut the performance
by the falnting of the young girl IN the
the balcony, who uttered piercing screams,
but he denied that there was panic or
that any one in the house cried fire
The young girl who tainted was conveyed
to her home on Grand street in carriage
which Hyams furnished. The occurrence
did not interfere with the progress of the
performance.

mistaken for it by the audience, and there

or Sc per million gallons. The proposition
that the North Jersey Water Company

monstrous. The proposition that the Bart
let's should be contracted with for q sup
ply at $50 so per million gallons is scarcely
less monstrors; and we have little hesita-
ton in saying that no man can urge the
ma king of such a contract upon the city
and decently pretend that he is seeking the
public good. The very extravaganza of
the proposition subjects the honesty of the
motive of its advocates to suspicion. We
have already declared our belief that the
duty of furnishing water supply to the
city should not be taken out of the hands
of the city authorizes. On general princi-
pies that proposition is unassailable. Even
if, after investigation, it should be found
advisable to ''let" the contract to private
parties, the prices so far given to the city
are extravaganza to extortion. We want
clean and pure supply of water as soon IS
it can be got but false step in the be-
ginning may prove the loss of millions to
the city by the destruction of her water
assets, and lead to foolish bargain that
may bring bankruptcy in its train. The
